Sorry to hear this, sorry that this happened to you,people can be so nasty and family shouldn't abuse us, they let you down! I hope you are not too hurt and can recover from this.

I am restless and agitated. Most of my chores are done so I can try and relax(except the ironing)
I don't like when I am restless and agitated, it means I will sink further into depression and bad mental health.

I had quite a traumatic weekend with triggers and thoughts (suicidal and other stuff), but today I am just trying to focus on christmas and the planning (this afternoon I am going to put up my tree, and use that as a distraction)

plus: I am listening to christmas music. anything to try not to think about stuff.

Pretty well. I didn’t say one word about my feeling angry about the same ‘ol issue. Let it go, let it go......

I cope by distracting myself from my negative emotions and my fears and disappointments.
I try to find meaning in every day life and I plan for how to achieve my future goals.
I cope by avoiding thinking about my fears but it is just coping not thriving.

I had a really bad night terror last Saturday where I fell and hit my head. For a week now I’ve felt anxious and on edge and feeling sick. These past 2 days were really tough. I just haven’t been the same mentally or physically since the night terror and I don’t know why. I’m not sure if I got hurt or if it just really traumatized me. But literally the moment after I came out of the night terror I knew something was wrong.

I am just getting by.

I am feeling angry.

yesterday my mother decided to try again with her email abuse

and it's making me realise how unfair it is that

Possible trigger:

she abandoned my sister at a train station, abused her boyfriend and tried to kill me twice, yet still gets away with itt.

their's people out their who do minor crimes and get loads of jailtime

hard to really charge her though since she's left the country

rant over.

Worst I have been with mental health for a while, I had some stressors this week and I am feeling anxious and sad. I have also been self isolating.

I had some great support from a pc friend and that was amazing- trying to not freak out and keep positive.

Marylin · Nov 30, 2019 at 06:37 PM

I need to go out and meet people cos I am stuck at home isolated and I don't cope well ,my mental health deteriorates if I don't have friends and don't see my mother and niece. My mother's care home isn't allowing visitors cos there has been an outbreak of norovirus and residents have caught it so we aren't allowed in until everybody is clear of it. It's been almost three weeks now I haven't seen my mother. My niece I saw last Monday but not seeing her again until 19 December cos she wants some alone time.

Been having kind of a rough month. Today I was feeling lonely. I'm glad I found this group!

It's been the usual autumn/winter depression. Better today because of the rain.

downandlonely · Dec 01, 2019 at 01:06 PM

I'm coping pretty well today.

TishaBuv · Dec 01, 2019 at 01:51 PM

Pretty well, bad morning, never going to stop getting triggered by him, but able to keep it under emotional wraps and not ruin the day. Enjoying the last few hours with my visiting son.

Dec 01, 2019 at 02:44 PM

quite well, though I wish I didn't waste another entire day doing nothing at all

I opened my advent calendar today (door number 1). woohoo

that's what I did in the whole day

Marylin · Dec 02, 2019 at 10:35 AM

Coped quite well today,got my housework chores done.Made an oven macaroni dish with bechamel sauce topping,ate some and took me evening meds just now.Am pleased with how I coped today.

Dec 02, 2019 at 11:48 AM

I have accomplished nothing today.

nothing at all.

so yeah...

Discombobulated · Dec 02, 2019 at 11:51 AM

Coped well with practicalities today, Work and volunteering went well.

Emotionally I guess I am coping with the situation I have at the moment, but not happy about it.

krashmajors · Dec 02, 2019 at 12:09 PM

Extremely stressed this morning. Not in the mood to work at all. Feeling very overwhelmed with the tasks I need to accomplish and not feeling motivated to want to do anything. Nervous about an interview I need to conduct this afternoon and wishing I could just cancel it and go back to bed.
